VfGH President Grabenwarter reports on a first crown wave before the Supreme Court. 62 percent of the total seizure there currently comes from asylum and foreign cases.
The crown crisis is working for the Constitutional Court (VfGH): As VfGH President Christoph Grabenwarter reported to the National Council Budget Committee on Monday, there are already 56 individual requests and two demands for state responsibility in this context, one of which is a request for procedural assistance from a public official.
Overall, according to parliamentary correspondence, Grabenwarter assured that the VfGH’s work would continue quickly despite a complete shift to teleworking. Around 200 decisions have been made in the past few weeks alone.
VwGH: Asylum procedure “hardly more” accelerable
The dynamics of asylum and foreign law has a particular impact on workload. In 2019 there was again a significant increase in the number of cases in this area. With more than 3,200 cases, they already represented more than 62 percent of the total. While the general procedure lasts an average of 123 days, the right of asylum is even less than 110 days, Grabenwarter said.
The proportion of asylum law cases in the Administrative Court (VwGH) is equally high and was approximately 3,000 cases in the previous year. The duration of the proceedings in this area is now one and a half months, this can hardly be accelerated, said the president of the Administrative Court, Rudolf Thienel, in the budget committee.
It is pleased that the moratorium on the deadline and the extension of the circulation decisions have facilitated the work of the Administrative Tribunal, especially since no meetings are currently possible. The backwater is therefore limited. However, the crown crisis will be used as an opportunity to further focus on digitization and to prefer some projects, Thienel says.
